Inside the Evolution of LED Lighting

2011-09-09 11:04:37 | led lights

This week,1200LM Bicycle light,LED flashlight,LED headlamp,hid,bike light,bicycle light Nature of Business host Chrissy Coughlin speaks with Fritz Morgan, Chief Product Officer at Boston-based Digital Lumens. Fritz talks to Chrissy about the intricacies and evolution of LED lighting, including light quality and cost as well as how Digital Lumens has found their niche in the industrial lighting arena. Fritz also discusses his career trajectory and how his current job feeds his entrepreneurial spirit.

Digital Lumens has introduced one of the first Intelligent Lighting Systems that combines LEDs, networking, and software into a single, integrated system, thereby reducing customers' lighting-related energy use by up to 90 percent at warehouses and industrial facilities in the U.S.,Buy cheap LED lighting supplier, flashlight, dynamo torch Canada and Mexico."From what we hear, the led lighting legislation has been a significant boost [to lighting research]," said Harris.

For example, approximately a year and half ago, Digital Lumens completed an LED installation at a 500,000-square-foot facility. This facility alone saves about 1.7 megawatt hours of electricity or the equivalent of taking 200-300 homes off of the grid. And that's just one facility!

And while no success comes without hard work and determination, Fritz discusses the importance of a mix of forging ahead and being willing to slip up once in a while and learn from mistakes with the support of a like-minded investment community and multi-disciplinary team.

In his words, "Often times people are afraid of making a decision and often I think that's worse than making a bad decision. You really have to go out and make a decision, try it, learn from it .2 Nov 2009 – Bike cfl bulbs have come a long way.. continuous improvement; this iterative process. And we have used that process in how we design products, how we push products out to see what works and what doesn't work. You need to be willing to just say, 'you know it I made a mistake but that's okay. We're going to go out and fix it the next time we do it.'"

Digital Lumens is certainly forging ahead. In mid August they added to their product line with new 15,000-lumen Intelligent Light Engines (ILEs). Designed for industrial facilities with higher ceilings, high foot-candle requirements and/or wider spacing of fixtures, the new systems increase delivered light by more than 50 percent, company officials say.This combination r4 販売 light and noisemaker is...


Countdown to 32nd MassKara Festival starts

Mayor Evelio Leonardia led city officials,SST-50 1200umen r4購入 flashlight extremely bright, long throwing beam 100 meters diving sponsors, and festival organizers in the switch-on ceremonies of the Billboard of Lights at the public plaza Friday night (Sept. 2) to officially launch the countdown to the 32nd MassKara Festival from October 1 to 19.

Leonardia said this year's festival, with the theme, "Celebrating the New Icons of Bacolod", will be livelier because of more improvements and innovations.

For one,2 Nov 2009 – Bike cfl bulbs have come a long way the streetdancing barangay competition on October 16 will have, for the first time in 32 years,1200LM Bicycle light,LED flashlight,LED headlamp,hid,bike light,bicycle light live music using drums, percussions, and various parade instruments, he said.

Gerry Grey, music committee chairman of the MassKara Festival, said the "contagious" live music from large groups of drumbeaters and dancers "will transform Bacolod into the Philippine version of tropical mardi gras."

This year's MassKara celebration will also be a festival of lights, with various light shows in the public plaza and the Bacolod City Government Center (BCGC), festival director Eli F. J. Tajanlangit said.

On October 1, the plaza bandstand will be illuminated with light shows, while on October 9, Charlie Co and his fellow artists will set up floating artwork at the fountain area of the BCGC, he said.

There will also be a mask-lantern contest for inmates of 18 jail districts in Negros Occidental, he said,"From what we hear, the led lighting legislation has been a significant boost [to lighting research]," said Harris. adding that the giant mask-lanterns will be hung around the plaza as another attraction starting October 1.

Tajanlangit said the new attractions in the plaza are aimed at repositioning it and bringing back the focus to it as the "heart of the festival."

These are expected to attract more foreign and local tourists to these areas since tourists and visitors can go there every night and have their pictures taken, he said.

Every night the people will see light shows especially at the Bacolod plaza,Buy cheap LED lighting supplier, flashlight, dynamo torch he added.

Leonardia added the MassKara this year will focus solely on the festival since the city's Charter Day, which was usually held Oct. 19, had been celebrated last June 18 already.


What's happening with LED lighting

2011-09-09 11:01:55 | led strip

I recently attended the International Light Fair in the Philadelphia Convention Center (nice and close for me this year). This is "the" show for every manufacturer throughout the world to showcase their products, and showcase they did. Everywhere I looked were companies presenting LED (light emitting diode) products.2 Nov 2009 – Bike cfl bulbs have come a long way It quickly became obvious that this super technology is here and now - poised to be used for every lighting device you can name.

LED's have come a long way since their first development in the 1960's. They were used in various indicator applications, such as automobile dashboard indicators and light switching devices. They differ from traditional light sources in the way they produce light.

They are comprised of layers of semi-conducting materials coating a minute chip, which produces light when an electrical current flows through it."From what we hear, the led lighting legislation has been a significant boost [to lighting research]," said Harris. The specific color emitted depends on the materials used to make the diode. Light color tones or hues are measured on a Kelvin temperature scale. When a warm tone white light is desired (as we are used to seeing with incandescent lighting), the color temperature is about.

But, is every lighting device right for LED's? LED's have some unique characteristics. First of all, they emit light hemispherically (straight out), whereas our traditional light sources - incandescent and compact fluorescent (CFL's) - emit light spherically (in all directions). Therefore, LED's are generally more efficient and waste less light. Second, they are impervious to vibration and usually do not need glass enclosures; nor do they get hot, so they won't burn your fingers either. And, traditional light sources burn out sooner when switched on and off frequently, while LED's are unaffected by rapid cycling or dimming features. They also come on at full brightness, unlike CFL's, which have a delay prior to attaining optimal light output and are not reliably dimmable.

They consistently last between 35,000 and 50,000 hours (5 years) if they are left on full time. In comparison, this is ten times longer than a halogen bulb. And if we compared it to a life of 1000 hours for a 75-watt incandescent bulb, or a CFL, which typically lasts 8,000 to 10,000 hours, we see quite a difference in bulb life.

West Side's Blue Gables up for auction

Andy and Jayne Patton are in a quandary over the future of their Delhi Township home of 28 years.

They adore the blue-shingled West Side landmark, aptly named Blue Gables. But the four-level home where they raised their two sons has become too much work for Jayne.

Andy said he understands,"From what we hear, the led lighting legislation has been a significant boost [to lighting research]," said Harris.2 Nov 2009 – Bike cfl bulbs have come a long way but he could live there happily the rest of his life.

Still, the Pattons have tried to sell Blue Gables - for more than a year. At times there seemed to be lots of interest in the four-bedroom, four-bathroom Tudor and its two-bedroom, two-bathroom carriage house.Buy cheap LED lighting supplier, flashlight, dynamo torch

"But I'd say 60 percent of the people who walked through had no interest in buying the house. They just wanted to see it," Jayne said.

Frustrated,the dstti 4 All - Buy Diving and Underwater Flashlights from Underwater Kinetics the couple took Blue Gables off the market in midsummer and considered their next step.

Should they keep Blue Gables and hire more help to maintain it? Or should they stay and keep doing what they can, knowing it might fall into disrepair.

The Pattons - he's a "semi-retired" lawyer, she's a retired teacher - found neither option attractive.

Blue Gables deserves a caring owner, they agreed, but the standard selling techniques weren't finding one.

Blue Gables' Tudor look likely was inspired by English country cottages the Terrys saw when traveling overseas. The cedar shake shingles and shutters get their color from the blue-shuttered stone homes of Brittany, France, she said.

The first time the Pattons visited Blue Gables in 1983, it was run down and painted in garish style.1200LM Bicycle light,LED flashlight,LED headlamp,hid,bike light,bicycle light In one bedroom, Jayne recalled, a single light bulb dangled from a ceiling wire.

"The kitchen was painted a mustard yellow and red with orange indoor-outdoor carpeting," she said. "But I didn't care. When I drove down the driveway, I knew I just had to have this house. I also love blue, so this is a good fit."

Originally on five acres with a swimming pool, pool house and stables, Blue Gables looks much as it did in 1926.
